Book Title: Multiple Intelligences Chapter: Four
Write a brief abstract of the chapter:
Chapter four of Multiple Intelligences describes ideas for teaching the theory of Multiple Intelligences to a wide array of classrooms, from second graders to high school students. The author describes several effective strategies that can help students understand this theory in a short lesson. Using simple words to describe the eight intelligences, as well as activities that allow students to explore their own intelligences are very effective. Some of the ideas mentioned include career days, tables with different activities revolving around each of the intelligences, and field trips are mentioned.
How did you connect to the reading and briefly reflect on your thoughts:
All of us agreed that the education of students, especially at a younger age, in the theory of Multiple Intelligences can help those students as they grow. If they are aware of their strengths in these eight intelligences, and if the teachers are aware as well, it can only benefit students. We all agreed that the techniques mentioned can help students understand this theory in a very short time; simpler words and pictures can help provide a visual, and activities help students identify their own intelligences. The author’s approach of using these activities in the first week as an “icebreaker” was viewed as a positive idea.
